Guest Cape Cod Cache Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 I'd rather like to see the pix sent in for the 'cache in / trash out' I don't have a digital camera, and I am a mess when it comes to using a camera. I forget it alot, and then forget to use it if I do bring it with me. When I placed the 'Crab Creek Cache' http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=2156 I pulled 3 bags of trash and a barnicle encrusted bicycle with a baby seat. A couple was enjoying the view after work while I was there, they helped me with the bike. We came to the conclusion that someone 'had a few too many' and and swiped it... There are no trash cans, but I managed to flag down a Yarmouth Water Department truck that picked up the debris. (I ride a bike there, no back seat) I have used a dumped tire as a point of reference for the cache.... ICK ! I think I'll get rid of it pronto. The area is popular for crabbing, unfortunately that brings chicken packaging trash. Geocachers have been very good to my area, some people have dropped $ to the non-profit windmill (Big W #2831). The Historical Society is rather happy with 'Cachers. I take fishing line home in my pockets. On occaision, I find a fishing lure. I hope all Cachers do as well.

Guest T-storm Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 A lovely sack of trash from the Chisenhall Tower cache trail (a nice walk, by the way). You miss out on the heavier items (like the empty booze bottle) since they wind up in the bottom of the sack.

Guest T-storm Posted October 8, 2001 Share Posted October 8, 2001 Well forgot to take a pic again, but I picked up a small quantity of trash on my way out of the "Parr-ty On!!" cache. The trail was actually pretty clean. Worse were the playground and soccer practice fields that were actively in use during my visit. They seemed to have little concern for messing their own space.

Guest T-storm Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Here's the take from one of today's caches, Horseshoe Trails. The paved trail that leads most of the way to the cache was really clean. The trash was all gathered within 75 feet of the cache, because the area is a place where folks would naturally linger, gather, etc. Most interesting item? A plastic carton that had once held Tyson chicken livers... fish bait!

Guest T-storm Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 Today we hauled out significant amounts of trash at two cache sites, The Las Colinas Lunch Hour (note the hacked up garden hose) and later in the day, Flagpole Hill. Flagpole Hill's bag of trash filled the 5 gallon bucket we picked up along the way and surrounded it as well. There were a couple of 40-ouncers in there, one complete with rotting label and plain brown sack wrapper. ------------------ http://www.cordianet.com/geocaching [This message has been edited by T-storm (edited 21 February 2002).] Link to comment
Guest T-storm Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 Pardon me for falling behind posting pics. I'll post notes today with the pictures taken the past couple of weekends. I hope others are submitting pics to Jeremy, whether or not they wish to post here. I realize he has *PLENTY* to do, and if he doesn't get enough pics, there's no need to bump this feature up the list. Hope we'll all show both sides, fun and responsible! These pics come from our day at http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=8853. We picked up three bags of trash, and as we were bundling up the last of it to head home, Geoferret found a bottle cap on the ground next to the truck. She came running to us waving it and yelling, "Another trash! Another trash!" The pic shows her demonstrating where trash belongs. And our feature item for this cache... Happy caching!

Guest T-storm Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 Brokenwing's dedication to retrieving trash shows on his jeans and boots. In an intrepid effort to collect garbage caught up in brush in a creek near http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=9103, he slipped and went in nearly to his knees. Water filled his boots, and knowing he was pretty well done, he just waded to several more previously unreachable spots and cleared them of trash. Noteable here was the odd round object. It might be part of a filter system, the back off a mirror, or???

Guest T-storm Posted November 11, 2001 Share Posted November 11, 2001 Last post for today, trash gathered from the walk to and from http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/log/105640_300.JPG. Feature item is the highly fashionable "handbag" modeled by Sister Clovis. She discovers its packing strap and concrete design do not solve the problem of keys migrating to the bottom of one's purse.

Guest T-storm Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Stopped by one of our caches today for some quick maintenance. While Brokenwing made the cache adjustment, GeoFerret and I started picking up trash and he came along to help us complete the task. Items found included some 12" flooring tiles in a marbled pink pattern and a page from some kid's report on King Arthur and the Camelot legend. Note the irony in the picture! Trash out!

Guest AlienMonnky Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 I've left my fair share of trash (in bags) in the backseats of various rental cars while I've either been hiking or caching. I carry a shopping bag with me and then just let the kind folks at Hertz dump it in the can for me if I can't find someplace to put it nearby the parking lot. Link to comment
Guest T-storm Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 From Longview's First, a stop on our trek home from Thanksgiving with family. GeoFerret kept pointing out the "trashes" she was seeing, so we picked up while Brokenwing was hunting (we take turns finding). A variety of food related trash, including box that had held 2 dozen donuts. Happy caching!

Guest Seth! Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 My New Year's Resolution is to do more trash-out work. I've been slacking. And shouldn't we change this thread to "Pics of T-storm's Cute Family"? Link to comment

Guest c-troop Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 Here's a shot from Two Trees with a message cache we picked up a couple of big bags, and left a handfull of new trashbags in the cache itself to keep it going. Also made a new friend while there! C-Troop [This message has been edited by c-troop (edited 01 January 2002).] [This message has been edited by c-troop (edited 01 January 2002).] Link to comment

You go ahead and put it that request. I'll tell Brokenwing you said he has cute legs Hey, I least I give you something besides simply bags of trash to look at in some of my pics! Besides, if I bump this topic to the top often enough, it'll soon be populated with pics of C-troop's bunch, yourself, and hopefully others. That or if lots of pics come in Jeremy will shuffle his crushing workload to get an auto-submit CITO page online!

Guest T-storm Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Here's one from last weekend. The "item of note" this time is certainly different in an oddball way than many I find. It is prominently displayed atop the other trash: It's the collar AND button placket from a knit polo/golf shirt! I it found dangling from a branch 7 feet up into a tree covered with HUGE (3 inches +) thorns. Strange!
